Miami to Key West Day Trip Transportation

Great opportunity to spend some time in Key West and see scenic Route 1. You also get plenty of time to do more than one activity or sight.

Beautiful snorekling experience, superb scenery on the road, very friendly guide ........

This tour basically just provides the transportation from Miami to Key West, which is fine but the bus was filthy. I can honestly say that I have never been in a dirtier bus anywhere in the world. There was a hand written sign in the front of the bus that states that the front row seats on the upper deck cost an additional $20 per person. Yes, those seats provide better views. I can understand that . But the windshield was filthy, full of stains, streaks and dried bird poop. One cannot get a nice view nor can one take a good photo through the window. Not only that, the seats had food crumbs on them and the surrounding areas are filthy, full of stains, dirt, and the cup holders were wet with some kind of liquid inside. It was gross. I strongly suspect that the guide just put the extra charge sign up just to make himself and may be the driver a few extra bucks. I wonder if the company even knows about this. The guide also spent a lot of time selling tickets to various activities in Key West. BTW, the hop on/ hop off trolly ride , at $60+ per person was a rip off. The guide also mentioned 3 times during the bus ride that we should tip him and the driver and even suggested the percentage of the tip. All this felt really sleazy. A tip is an expression of an appreciation for a job well done and it’s called a gratuity, meaning it should be gratuitous and not to be aggressively solicited. But the filthy condition of the bus is what kept me from taking a Viator tour again. I understand these providers are sub contractors but Viator should vet them more carefully. A negative experience ruins Viator’s good reputation.

We had a great time in Key west but be aware you are not getting to enjoy key west for a full 6 hours it’s more like 5/ 51/2 hours. But we got to do something’s that we didn’t get to do on our last visit.

Got picked up a few minutes after 7:30am from the hotel. Paid an extra $40 for roundtrip first class seats. Upstairs first row. Best view going and coming. I've made multiple trips to the keys, driving myself, but this was the first time I was able to relax and pay attention to the views. I'd recommend it highly to anyone wanting to go to key west for the day.

Bus ride from Miami Beach to key west on a charter bus was a great affordable day trip. Louis our guide and Manie our driver were great. Lots of info and suggestions. Helped us get a golf cart so we could explore where we wanted to. If you do a golf cart watch the traffic they don't like to give way to the golf carts. Lots of places to eat,drink, and shop. We went to the Fort East Martello museum to see Robert the doll. Definitely would suggest this tour for a day trip to Key West.

Driver and Guide were very courteous and helpful The transportation experience was pleasant and comfortable, just as described.

A good experience. Beautiful travel scenery. Long day. Key West is lovely city but the area is made for tourism.

Our driver and host was professional and knowledgeable.

We were picked up close by our hotel and they texted with reminders and called when they arrived at the location to make sure everything was on time. The only serious point I would like to say is that when booking it stated that the bus would leave Key West to head back at 5:30, we were recommended to book excursion through the bus. When we did this they then informed us that we would need to take an early excursion to make sure the bus would now leave at 5pm and would leave us. By the time we arrived walking to get our tickets the first excursion already left. We asked several times, the person who we bought the tickets from and the booth for the excursion that we would make it back in time for our bus... since it ended at 5pm. They both told us a few times that yes we would be fine. I even asked again before getting on the boat with the booth since it seemed to be running behind. They said there would be no problem, they normally come back in before or on time. So while out on the boat we again asked to make sure. That is when the captain said "no, they would head back in at 5pm and there was no way we would make it to our bus. !" I was livid and said we asked so many times how it worked. Luckily a storm shelf came in suddenly and we had to head back early making us on time to get to the bus. That was an awful feeling and I explained to the lady on the bus they should not take guests on excursions knowing they are leaving out early on the bus. There would have been legal ramifications had we been left by the bus due to false time frames given. So make sure what time the excursion is and not close to leaving time and that the bus leaves as they advertised. Had we not stopped for breakfast at McDonalds I believe we could have made an earlier excursion is my recommendation.
